[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 2211259, member: 10079"] Two weeks had passed since your heated escape from Carida. You were all given some downtime in the small, cramped base within one of the larger asteroids in the Roche field. In the meantime, the unit went through a few personell changes, with two transfers out and two coming in to replace them. There had been some time to get to know the newer members of the group, but soon, the base was a flurry of activity. Somehow, an Imperial Agent had infiltrated the base. It was well known that there was an Imperial fleet farther out in the system, but they never risked going into the asteroid field and security was so tight that even the slightest changes were noted. How the Imperial Agent got in is still unknown, but how he...or she...or it, got out, is well known. It was the the previous day that the alarms sounded and everything went mad. All of you knew of the starfighter development program that the entire facility was based around. Admiral Ackbar had a team of Verpine technicians working on a new, advanced bomber of some kind. And so, when you heard the alarms go off, it was easy to figure out what was going on. It was surprising, however, to arrive at the main hangar and watch the new starfighter rocket out of the base. The base's single starfighter squadron was scrambled to disable the ship, but it escaped into hyperspace just as it exited the dense asteroid field. And so, a day later, here you were, gathered in the small command center that was still a crowded and generally tense place. The buzz about the defectors was gone, and though you could point out a few of them here and there, your focus was on the young human man that was in charge while Commander Derlin tried to coordinate and calm things down. His name was Garil, and from the small patch on his jacket, he was a Lieutenant. Trying to tone out the noise that surrounded you in the command center, the young man pulled up a holo of a galactic map in front of you and pointed to a small red dot near the bottom of the galaxy, [color=royalblue]"I'll be quick.
